Topic: Webinar: Bruce Johnson; Quantify and Support Your DLOM Using Rates of Return

December 20, 2012 Meeting – Recap

Ingo Schulz, from Prestwick Partners, presented not only an update on M&A activity, but also two recent sales. Following an overview of each transaction, he invited participants to guess the sales multiple. Heather Burns, winner of the first round, won a $50 gift certificate. We had two winners for the second round, Tom Helling and Mike Meagher, and only one gift certificate remaining! Tom took home the $25 gift certificate and Ingo provided an additional prize to Mike. Thanks, Ingo, for sharing your thoughts on the M&A market and preparing two transactions for us.
